Book Description:

Continuing its tradition of excellence developed over six previous editions, this seminal Handbook provides a compact, easily accessible source of current data for solving problems in hydraulic engineering. It's packed with essential tables, formulas, computer solutions, and other references needed by practicing engineers. Updating the Sixth Edition published 13 years ago which sold nearly 40,000 copies the Seventh Edition includes a number of valuable new features: computer programs replacing logarithm tables; new chapter on advances in hydraulic using computer technology; metric units used throughout the book.

Synopsis:

A compact source of current data and information to help solve problems in hydraulic engineering, this handbook provides the essential tables, formulas, computer solutions and other reference aids required by practising engineers and students. Revised and updated, this edition includes two new chapters: "Advances in Hydraulics Using Computer Technology" and a chapter listing applicable computer programs available, together with cost information, what the program will accomplish and where to purchase. The logarithm tables in Chapter 14 have been replaced with computer programs.
